"By neglecting the lotus feet of Nityananda Prabhu all sadhana or bhajan (spiritual practices, services or worship) become an illusion, just like a dream. I worship and adore with all my heart that gracious giver of Sri Gaura, the benevolent bestower of His shelter to the fallen souls—Sri Nityanandachandra."

Lectures from South India (January 2012), published here earlier:

Vaishnav-Seva: Highlight of Life
"You must always do Vaishnav seva—without service to the Vaishnavs we cannot proceed in our spiritual life. How can you do Vaishnav seva? Vaishnav seva means following the order and advice that a Vaishnav gives you."

Serve, Chant, Remember
"We keep coming and going, we are always changing our address, but now that we have got a human body. If a fortunate soul can take and chant the Holy Name, they can go to their real home, it will not be necessary for them to suffer any more."

This Is Your Medicine, Take It
"So, I am praying to everybody—Mahaprabhu brought Harinam-sankirtan, this is your medicine, take it. If you take this medicine, you will be rescued from this world. When you get a good doctor and good medicine, your disease will be removed. How is it possible?"
Download / listen to the audio (1.1 Mb, 4 min)

Devotion to Devotees

Captured by Heart, Not Kartals

Download / listen to the audio (2.1 Mb, 6 min)

Initiation—Surrender of Heart

A Shift In Objective
"Worshipping Lord Ramachandra was in Treta-yuga, but we live not in Treta-yuga—we live in Kali-yuga and we must know what is the dharma of Kali-yuga. It is not like the tradition to come to a temple, pay dandavat and go. We must practise properly."

I am begging you for one thing only: come with us and chant 'Krishna'! Come, come for Nabadwip Dham parikrama in the association of devotees!"

Цена преимущества [18 октября 2018 г.]
«В эпоху Кали существует множество недостатков, но в ней также есть и одно великое достоинство: Кришна Сам лично приходит в облике Святого Имени. Если мы примем прибежище в этом Святом Имени (если будем повторять Его правильно, без оскорблений), тогда мы сможем понять настоящую истину».

Srila Bhakti Raksak Sridhar Dev-Goswami Maharaj's poem expressing the grief-stricken hearts of the residents of Nabadwip: "Vishvambhar, the son of Jagannath Mishra, who resides in Nabadwip, Sachi's Nimai, has taken sannyas. A tumult of cries filled the sky—Sachi's Nimai has taken sannyas!"

 

From Sri Sri Prema Dhama Deva Stotram:

koti-kantha-krsna-kirtanadhya-danda-dharanam
nyasi-vesa-sarvadesa-ha-hutasa-kataram
prema-dhama-devam eva naumi gaura-sundaram

"Sri Gaurasundara departed from Nabadwip and went away to become a sannyasi (monk), leaving behind his family members and friends whose eyes were filled with tears. He accepted the staff and waterpot as his only possessions, the emblems of a renunciate. When his long hair was cut off and his head was shaved, thousands of voices sang the holy names. The devotee's eyes shed rivers of tears, since they knew he was going into the world and leaving them behind. From that time, whoever saw him in the red garments of a sannyasi cried out loud in grief. I sing with joy the unending glories of my sweet Lord, my golden Gaurasundara, the one and only divine abode of pure love."

Dear respected Devotees, Friends and Well-Wishers,

On behalf of His Divine Grace Om Vishnupad Srila Bhakti Nirmal Acharya Maharaj, the Sevaite-President Acharya of Sri Chaitanya Saraswat Math, we are humbly bowing down at your holy feet and extending an invitation to join our Sri Chaitanya Saraswat Math during the annual week-long grand festival celebrating the Divine Appearance of Lord Gaurasundar. The parikrama shall take place on 16-22 March 2019 this year. While attempts are being made to have the festival held at Sri Nabadwip Dham (the headquarters), in case this does not prove feasible as yet the parikrama and all programmes shall be held in full while being based in Sri Nrisingha Palli as last year.

The programme and schedule of the Festival:

16 March Adhivas (eve) of the festival of Sri Nabadwip Dham Parikrama.
17‑20 March Parikrama of the nine islands of Sri Nabadwip Dham. Evening Hari-katha (classes) from the holy lotus mouth of Sri Gurupadpadma and Vaishnavs.
21 March Main Celebration: Sri Gaura Purnima Festival (divine appearance of Sri Gauranga Mahaprabhu). Day-long Hari-katha, kirtans, reading from the scriptures, services around the temple. Fast until moonrise, followed by a special arati and prasad-seva.
22 March Anandotsav of Sri Jagannath Mishra.

Every year we anxiously await this very special festival and joyfully witness and partake in numerous devotional programmes and services. Offering worship, parikramas, kirtans, lectures, prasad-seva and many other devotional activities are held during these days. Bowing at your feet, we kindly request you to find it possible to come and join Sri Chaitanya Saraswat Math for this week. We shall feel obliged to have your and your friends' kind company at this time.

Shall you have any enquiries or wish to notify us of your arrival, we will be happy to hear from you at info.at.scsmathinternational.com.

Primary Qualities of Devotee
"If you go door to door but you do not practise properly, householder people will not give even one rupee to you. You must practise properly, behave properly—you must become a devotee. 'Devotee' means following Mahaprabhu's teaching. We come to Krishna consciousness to please Gurudev—not to please ourselves."

Главные качества преданного [3 января 2019 г.]
«Если вы ходите от дома к дому, но при этом сами не практикуете как следует, тогда люди не дадут вам даже одну рупию. Поэтому вам нужно правильно практиковать, нужно вести себя правильно: вы должны стать преданным. „Преданный“ подразумевает следование учению Махапрабху. Мы приходим в сознание Кришны для того, чтобы удовлетворить Гурудева, а не для того, чтобы удовлетворить самих себя».

 

All Glory to Sri Sri Guru Gauranga

Preaching in Sundarpur
(18 January 2019 | 16 photographs, 1.4 Mb)
Honouring the invitation of the devotees, His Divine Grace Om Vishnupad Srila Bhakti Nirmal Acharya Maharaj comes to Sundarpur (Murshidabad district) to preach to the devotees and friends of the community and give several initiations to new devotees.

Arriving In Sri Ekachakra Dham
(18 January 2019 | 5 photographs, 0.4 Mb)
After Sundarpur, Sri Gurupadpadma travels to Sri Ekachakra Dham, a little further to the north. Arriving rather late in the evening, His Divine Grace takes the darshan of Sri Sri Guru Gaura Nityananda Prabhu and gives evening class before retiring to rest.

Purpose of Surrender
"You think, 'I am suffering from so many problems, so I must surrender to the Lord'—this is not devotion. You should surrender with heart and soul, with the devotion. You must surrender to the Lord to love the Lord."

Смысл предания [3 января 2019 г.]
«Вы думаете: „У меня так много проблем, я так страдаю, поэтому я должен предаться Богу“, — это не преданность. Предаваться нужно всей душой и сердцем, с преданностью. Предоваться нужно для того, чтобы любить Бога».

 

Preaching Day: Ekachakra—Ishwarpur—Bolpur
(19 January 2019 | 28 photographs, 2.2 Mb)
His Divine Grace Om Vishnupad Srila Bhakti Nirmal Acharya Maharaj sets off from Sri Ekachakra Dham in the morning to attend further preaching programmes organised by the devotees in Ishwarpur and Bolpur, about 40 km and 60 km to the south of Sri Ekachakra Dham, respectively. His Divine Grace went there last time a year ago, so the devotees are overjoyed to have the darshan of the holy lotus feet of His Divine Grace and hear his Hari-katha.

Learn and Practise
"How will you serve the Lord? Come to the dearmost servitor of your Guru and surrender to that kind of Vaishnav—he can give you proper guidance. Read the books, pray to the Lord, and in that way you can remember the Lord. The best practice is sravan and kirtan."

Учитесь и практикуйте [3 января 2019 г.]
«Как служить Богу? Приходите к тому, кто является самым дорогим слугой вашего Гуру, и предавайтесь такому вайшнаву, он даст вам правильные наставления. Читайте книги, молитесь Богу, и таким образом помнить о Нем. Лучшая практика — это шраван и киртан».

"ভূল সিদ্ধান্ত নিয়ে কোন সময় চলবে না । অধিকার আগে অর্জন করতে হবে । আমাদের গুরু-ভক্ত হতে হবে, গৌর-ভক্ত হতে হবে, রাধারাণীর ভক্ত হতে হবে, তারপর তো কৃষ্ণভক্ত হব । আমরা কৃষ্ণপ্রেমদান পাব তো দূরের কথা, ব্রজগোপীদের দাসী হতে পারলাম না আর আমরা বলি কৃষ্ণপ্রেমদান পাব । হবে না ।"

At Mangalagiri (2)

В Мангалагири (2) [4 января 2019 г.]
«Мы приезжаем в Южную Индию проповедовать сознание Кришны, потому что Гурудев хотел, чтобы была эта проповедь в Южной Индии. Мы сегодня посетили некоторые места, но на самом деле у нас нет глаз. Как мы можем увидеть Господа Нрисингхадева, Панака Нрисингхадева или Лакшми Нрисингхадева?»

 


 

In honour of Srila Gopal Bhatta Goswami Prabhu:

Srila Gopal Bhatta Goswami's Miracle
"You have heard about the Deity of Sri Radha-Raman in Vrindavan. When Gopal Bhatta Goswami lived in Vrindavan, he every day worshipped twelve pieces of Govardhan sila..."
Download / listen to the audio (1 Mb, 3 min | 7 September 2013 | Bengali)

SONG: Sri Sad-Goswamy-Astakam | শ্রীশ্রীষড়্­গোস্বাম্যষ্টকম্
"I offer my respectful obeisances unto the Six Goswamis, namely Sri Rupa Goswami, Sri Sanatan Goswami, Sri Raghunath Bhatta Goswami, Sri Raghunath Das Goswami, Sri Jiva Goswami, and Sri Gopala Bhatta Goswami, who are always engaged in chanting the Holy Name of Krishna and dancing. They are just like the ocean of love of God, and they are popular both with the gentle and with the ruffians, because they are not envious of anyone. Whatever they do, they are all-pleasing to everyone, and they are fully blessed by Lord Chaitanya. Thus they are engaged in missionary activities meant to deliver all the conditioned souls in the material universe."

SONG: Ei-bara karuna kara | এইবার করুণা কর
"O worshippable Vaisnava, be merciful to me this time. O saviour of the fallen, without you there is no one. In every birth I aspire for the dust of your feet."

SONG: Ohe Vaisnava Thakura | (ওহে) বৈষ্ণব ঠাকুর
"O worshippable Vaishnav, ocean of grace, be merciful to this servant. Give me the shade of your feet and purify me. I clasp your feet. You can give Krishna, you have that power. Calling, 'Krishna!' 'Krishna!', I run after you."

SONG: Ki-rupe paiba seva | কিরূপে পাইব সেবা
"I am so wicked, how will I ever get service? I do not have any attachment to Sri Guru and Vaishnavs! Prabhu, you see no fault in others, you are the saviour of the fallen. Please deliver Narottam this time!"

SONG: Dhana mora nityananda | ধন মোর নিত্যানন্দ
"The feet dust of the Vaishnavs is where I sport and take bath, Vaishnavs' name is the water oblation. My mind is intently fixed upon the remnants of Vaishnavs, and I am elated hearing the name of Vaishnavs."

 


In honour of Srila Ramachandra Kaviraj's disappearance:

Power of Good Association
"You must see the sadhu with your ears. Every day you sing, 'Ramachandra-sanga mage Narottama Dasa: Narottam Das prays for the association of Ramachandra Kaviraj.' What does this mean? Why does Narottam Das always ask for the association of Ramachandra?"

SONG: Sri Krsna Chaitanya Prabhu daya kara more
"O Srinivas Acharya Prabhu! Be merciful! Narottam Das prays for the association of Ramachandra Kaviraj."

SONG: Ye anila prema-dhana | যে আনিল প্রেমধন
"Where are my Raghunath Bhatta and Gopal Bhatta? Where is my Ramachandra Kaviraj? Where has the great dancer Sri Gauranga suddenly gone?"

 


In honour of Sripad Yadavendu Bhakti Chandan's disappearance:

Sripad Yadavendu Bhakti Chandan [GaudiyaDarshan.com]
"...He was a senior man, he was very experienced and honourable, but he treated me with humility and all his other good qualities. Later, I was his servant for one month in Vrindavan. Sometimes Srila Guru Maharaj told me, 'In the evening, give him a garland.' Guru Maharaj gave him the title 'Bhakti Chandan'."

In Remembrance of Sri Bhakti Chandan Prabhu [GaudiyaDarshan.com]
"Today, being separated from the direct affection of Srimat Yadavendu Bhakti Chandan Prabhu, we are bearing jewel-less hearts. Personally, I received so much of his auspicious association. When we have teeth, we do not understand their value. Today, if I could meet him again, then, just by getting a touch of his good association, I would attain even greater good fortune."

Power of the Holy Name: Abode of Sweetness
'If you chant this Name of Krishna so many times but still there is no love, there are no tears streaming from your eyes, then as I understand there are too many offences and the seed of Krsna's Name does not sprout.'

 

Sri Sri Prema-Vivarta
“Brother, do not converse with women, even in dreams.”

If somebody says something bad about my Guru, I believe that and become
crazy—I leave everything and start dancing to that tune. This is not faith, actually!

"HUMILITY, TOLERANCE, GIVING HONOUR TO OTHERS | HUMILITY, TOLERANCE, GIVING HONOUR TO OTHERS"
